Profile:
A pocket sized powerhouse, Chetan Sharma made up for his lack of
height and build with a good action and thrust from the shoulders at
the point of delivery. He made his international debut at 17 and a
year later, at the age of 18 years, 288 days, played his first Test.
He made it memorable by bowling Mohsin Khan with his fifth ball - the
third Indian to take a wicket in his first over in Test cricket. He
remained Kapil Dev's able partner for almost five years. Though the
experts were of the view that he would not last long because of his
slight physique, Chetan proved them wrong by some lion hearted
performances. He first gave notice when he took 14 wickets in three
Tests in Sri Lanka in 1985, including his first five wicket haul. He
did even better in England in 1986 when he took 16 wickets in two
Tests including the first ten wicket match haul by an Indian bowler in
that country. Against the West Indies in 1987-88, he had his fourth
five wicket haul in Tests at New Delhi. He last played in a Test in
the West Indies in 1989 but continued to represent India in one day
internationals till 1994-95.
Chetan was also a more than useful tail end batsman, as he proved in
holding out against McDermott, Hughes and Reid for over two hours in
making 54 when sent in as a nightwatchman against Australia in 1985 or
in hitting an exhilerating unbeaten 101 when he was promoted to No 4
against England in the MRF World Series match in 1989. In retirement,
Chetan has become a popular TV commentator. (Partab Ramchand)
